Coming to Terms

Directed by Shawn Postoff

Damian's journey to come out to his family over the phone leads to emotional turmoil and healing. Exploring themes of acceptance and familial bonds.
Coming to Terms is a direct and emotionally sincere gay short film built around a young man’s painful telephone conversations with his family. The production is simple, but that simplicity keeps the focus on denial, blame and desperation, allowing the possibility of eventual healing to feel modest rather than sentimental.
